      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      net: core: add IFLA_STATS64 support · 10708f37
      Jan Engelhardt 提交于
      `ip -s link` shows interface counters truncated to 32 bit. This is
      because interface statistics are transported only in 32-bit quantity
      to userspace. This commit adds a new IFLA_STATS64 attribute that
      exports them in full 64 bit.

      rps: Receive Packet Steering · 0a9627f2
      Tom Herbert 提交于
      This patch implements software receive side packet steering (RPS).  RPS
      distributes the load of received packet processing across multiple CPUs.
      
      Problem statement: Protocol processing done in the NAPI context for received
      packets is serialized per device queue and becomes a bottleneck under high
      packet load.  This substantially limits pps that can be achieved on a single
      queue NIC and provides no scaling with multiple cores.
      
      This solution queues packets early on in the receive path on the backlog queues
      of other CPUs.   This allows protocol processing (e.g. IP and TCP) to be
      performed on packets in parallel.   For each device (or each receive queue in
      a multi-queue device) a mask of CPUs is set to indicate the CPUs that can
      process packets. A CPU is selected on a per packet basis by hashing contents
      of the packet header (e.g. the TCP or UDP 4-tuple) and using the result to index
      into the CPU mask.  The IPI mechanism is used to raise networking receive
      softirqs between CPUs.  This effectively emulates in software what a multi-queue
      NIC can provide, but is generic requiring no device support.
      
      Many devices now provide a hash over the 4-tuple on a per packet basis
      (e.g. the Toeplitz hash).  This patch allow drivers to set the HW reported hash
      in an skb field, and that value in turn is used to index into the RPS maps.
      Using the HW generated hash can avoid cache misses on the packet when
      steering it to a remote CPU.
      
      The CPU mask is set on a per device and per queue basis in the sysfs variable
      /sys/class/net/<device>/queues/rx-<n>/rps_cpus.  This is a set of canonical
      bit maps for receive queues in the device (numbered by <n>).  If a device
      does not support multi-queue, a single variable is used for the device (rx-0).
      
      Generally, we have found this technique increases pps capabilities of a single
      queue device with good CPU utilization.  Optimal settings for the CPU mask
      seem to depend on architectures and cache hierarcy.  Below are some results
      running 500 instances of netperf TCP_RR test with 1 byte req. and resp.
      Results show cumulative transaction rate and system CPU utilization.
      
      e1000e on 8 core Intel
         Without RPS: 108K tps at 33% CPU
         With RPS:    311K tps at 64% CPU
      
      forcedeth on 16 core AMD
         Without RPS: 156K tps at 15% CPU
         With RPS:    404K tps at 49% CPU
      
      bnx2x on 16 core AMD
         Without RPS  567K tps at 61% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
         Without RPS  738K tps at 96% CPU (8 HW RX queues)
         With RPS:    854K tps at 76% CPU (4 HW RX queues)
      
      Caveats:
      - The benefits of this patch are dependent on architecture and cache hierarchy.
      Tuning the masks to get best performance is probably necessary.
      - This patch adds overhead in the path for processing a single packet.  In
      a lightly loaded server this overhead may eliminate the advantages of
      increased parallelism, and possibly cause some relative performance degradation.
      We have found that masks that are cache aware (share same caches with
      the interrupting CPU) mitigate much of this.
      - The RPS masks can be changed dynamically, however whenever the mask is changed
      this introduces the possibility of generating out of order packets.  It's
      probably best not change the masks too frequently.
